Learn2 Poach an Egg (continued)
Step 2: Add the eggs



There are two methods, and the first one is nearly foolproof. After you've mastered it, you may want to try the second method, which uses one less dish.

Method 1#: The teacup
  • Break each egg into a small cup. Lower the cup into the water, and quickly tip the egg out.
  • Hold the cup upside-down for a moment or two to prevent the white from spreading.
  • Don't add more than three eggs at a time, as they become difficult to handle.
Method #2: The swirl

  • Create a small whirlpool in the cooking water by making tight circles with a narrow spatula or spoon.

Immediately crack an egg into the center of the swirling water; the circular motion of the water will keep it together. Don't overcrowd the pan.
